Relationship with Disney[edit] Beginning in 1940, cartoon drawings of Puddles in student publications began to resemble Donald Duck, and by 1947, Walt Disney was aware of the issue. Capitalizing on his friendship with a Disney cartoonist, Oregon athletic director Leo Harris met Disney and reached an informal handshake agreement that granted the University of Oregon permission to use Donald as its sports mascot.[1][2][4]
When Disney lawyers later questioned the agreement in the 1970s, the university produced a photo showing Harris and Disney wearing matching jackets with an Oregon Donald logo.[2][5] Relying on the photo as evidence of Disney's wishes, in 1973, both parties signed a formal agreement granting the university the right to use Donald's likeness as a symbol for (and restricted to) Oregon sports.[2] The agreement gave Disney control over where the mascot could perform and ensured that the performer inside the costume would "properly represent the Donald Duck character."[6]
In 2010, Disney and the university reached an agreement that removed the costumed Oregon Duck mascot from its association with the Donald trademark, and allowed The Duck to make more public appearances, such as at college mascot competitions.[6] The mascot in graphic art, which is more similar to Donald Duck than the rounder head and body of the costume, is still covered by the trademark agreement.[6]
Slingblade hired Yost who is a better OC than himself and the new kid he promoted to OC. So, if things start to slack he will just let Yost do his thing.
It also got Pellum taken out of the DC role. We will see who he hires and how they do, but the guy wants to keep his job and I think he is working harder than any mediocre coach in history.
Usually a mediocre coach just rides it out, gets that extra year to really suck and collects his millions. Slingblade is trying to get to year five and I think he might actually get it. When he was first hired I don't think one person saw him getting past year four.

UW has shit coaches that are lazy. Oregon has a shit coach that is trying his best to put really good coaches around him so the program doesn't suck.
There is something to be said about a guy not taking the money grab when gifted a seven figure job he didn't earn.

Big win!
Either way it will be interesting.
